Education for Global Citizenship(Acta Scientiarum. Education; vol. 44) Year of publication: 2022 Author: Williams Ibarra Figueroa | Elia Calderón Leyton Corporate author: Maringá State University Press This work explores the relationships between citizen training in education and the human development necessary for the formation of democratic citizens. The text also presents different controversies that revolve around the concept of citizenship in light of various theoretical conceptions, and a position is assumed that favors its application in educational proposals in an international context. Even revealing the sources that generate the conception of the formation of citizens throughout history presupposes analyzing the synergies that characterize the models of citizenship and the educational projection of each educational stage. The importance of reflecting on the rationality of pedagogical decisions includes an exercise to recognize the challenge that the new challenges of our time imply, from the training processes for the exercise of global citizenship. 
Training for Citizenship in Gender Equality at Elementary Education(Sinéctica, Revista electrónica de educación; no. 60) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Denys Serrano Arenas | Azucena de la Concepción Ochoa Cervantes Corporate author: Sinéctica, Revista Electrónica de Educación Gender equality is a purpose from educational policies aimed to eliminating sociocultu-ral inequalities that limit the exercise of children's rights. At present, gender stereotypes that legitimize the roles exercised by girls and boys that limit the forms of participation persist, promoting different levels of exclusion in school life. The objective of this work is to analyze the perceptions of a group of sixth grade students, about how they consider they should participate in school dynamics due to their gender condition, to detect tho-se stereotypes that influence the practice of their participation. A descriptive study was carried out using a Likert-type questionnaire to 64 students. The results show that gen-der stereotypes are reproduced that provide children with greater ease and freedom to express themselves, as well as to make decisions. Modifications in the care roles were also identified, within which, they begin to have greater interference. In parallel, it was found that these stereotypes represent structural difficulties for the self-recognition of the par-ticipatory capacities of girls. It is recommended to take participation as a fundamental element for the exercise of citizenship in gender equality. 
The Contribution of the New Mexican Culture to Education for World Citizenship(Sinéctica, Revista electrónica de educación; no. 60) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Gloria Esther Briceño Alcaraz Corporate author: Sinéctica, Revista Electrónica de Educación A couple of years ago, UNESCO suggested transforming educational models based on an in-tegral and humanist paradigm in order to train new generations with a social and civic di-mension, based on human rights. In this essay we propose to analyze the work of education as a preferential instrument not only to develop traditional school skills, but also as an ac-tion to form citizens with a sense of responsibility and social self-awareness that promote a culture of peace. The citizen-subject represents an identity or discursive construction that is forged in the social framework in which it is situated, always in tension between individual freedom, autonomy and collective normative frameworks (Cerda, 2004), hence the interest in approaching from a critical perspective of discourse analysis (Van Dijk, 2014) to the pro-posal of the new educational model of Mexico called the New Mexican School (2022) and open the discussion on this pedagogical model and the formative fields that affect education for global citizenship. 
Internationalization in Basic Education: Languages of Reality(Revista iberoamericana de educación; vol. 93, no. 1) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Vera Lucia Felicetti | Vanessa Gabrielle Woicolesco Corporate author: Revista Iberoamericana de Educación The presence of internationalization practices in Basic Education schools has been quietly taking shape on the national, Ibero-American and international stage, but the absence of records of the actions that characterize them as internationalization continues to be a gap in their understanding. From these silent practices of internationalization we see the potential to build knowledge while respecting the interculturality that permeates the educational space. In this sense, we must recognize and understand these practices as internationalization processes, with a view to debating and reflecting on how they can contribute to the improvement of the educational system from an Ibero-American perspective.
